Briefly: Nvidia’s RTX 4070 Ti arrived in the beginning of the month with an MSRP of $800. Most individuals agree that it is too costly, and discovering one at this value is not any straightforward feat (however nonetheless seemingly). However the criticism does not seem like damaging gross sales of the newest Lovelace entry, particularly in Germany.
TechEpiphany (through VideoCardz) tweeted the newest gross sales figures from German {hardware} retailer Mindfactory, which present that 545 RTX 4070 Ti fashions have been bought within the third week of January alone. For comparability, that is greater than the mixed gross sales of the Radeon RX 7900 XTX, RX 7900 XT, and Intel Arc A770/A380 — solely 20 Intel playing cards have been bought in the identical week, admittedly.

Curiously, Mindfactory’s stats present that the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX bought 300 models, over 100 greater than the RTX 4080 it competes towards.
The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is not performing too shabbily within the US, both. It is the third best-selling graphics card on Amazon, sitting behind the RTX 3060 and Ti variant, and it takes up two positions on Newegg’s best-selling GPU chart: fifth and eighth.
As we all know, the RTX 4070 Ti began life because the $900 RTX 4080 12GB final yr. The backlash towards the worth and the distinction in specs in comparison with the RTX 4080 16GB led to Nvidia “unlaunching” the cardboard and rebranding it because the RTX 4070 Ti, however the $100 low cost hasn’t proved fashionable — we stated in our review that it should not have an MSRP of greater than $700.
Moreover, the dearth of Founders Version playing cards and the truth that that is solely Nvidia’s suggestion means few fashions will be discovered at this value.
Even add-in board associate MSI mocked Nvidia’s pricing technique. In a quickly deleted tweet, the corporate famous that the RTX 4070 Ti was accessible from its retailer at a value “not as dangerous as a 4080.”
One other factor famous by TechSpot is that the RTX 4070 Ti’s cost per frame—the true worth it provides—is sort of the identical because the RTX 3070.
